STRENGTH
Strength is one of the most powerful assets women 40+ can build, and protect, because it impacts nearly every system of health. You're not just training your body, you're investing in your future freedom, independence, and joy.
Protecting muscle mass
From 40 on, women lose 3–8% of muscle each decade. Resistance training activates muscle protein synthesis, slowing this loss and keeping you strong, capable and independent.
Metabolism and weight management
Muscle is metabolically active tissue, even at rest. The more lean mass you maintain, the more efficiently your body burns energy, helping regulate weight and blood sugar.
Supporting bone health
Bone adapts to stress. Lifting weights triggers bone-building cells (osteoblasts), which counteract menopause-related bone loss and lower fracture risk.
Hormonal and metabolic health
Strength training improves insulin sensitivity, lowers chronic inflammation, and supports hormonal balance, critical factors for resilience during perimenopause and menopause.
